If I remember these old buses were   named " Indian ' .. and american  make .. or  was it the engine  that had the name?/  .. a bit fuzzy there  i  just ahve a  memory  of  my  Dad  telling  me  about  their   fantastic  preselect   gearboxes ..  huge complex things  but  that made the job of the  driver so  much easier ..

Lobotomy - isn't that fine drilling into the side of the head? Or am I thinking of something else

That was trepanning .. done in the middle ages ..   my equivalent??  rough and  ready .. hot knitting needle  shoved in above the eye  cavity to burn out  troublesome parts of the brain  ... apparently done with  needle inserted and voltage applied .. more  targetted than the old shock therapy  where they  just put the  electrodes on the temples  and  shocked the  shit out of the  brain  .. they did that  to my Auntie Irene to  try  lift  her  out  of  her  deep  depression ..  seemed to  help  .. but  then  one  day  she  just   took  herself  out  anyway ..

Many a friendship made on a CDM bus during those wee hours up to Uubvley......

From a kid's perspective, why did the cool kids always get to sit in the back of the bus? Surely if a fire broke out , they had a longer path to exit?
